Over recent years Moor Street Station in Birmingham became run down and derelict. However expansion plans and investment from Chiltern Railways decided that the Grade2 listed building must be restored and put back into regular use and reconnected to Network Rails steels.
Not only has it been restored, but it has been brought up to present standards for public use in a tasteful and delightful manner.
Chiltern Railways are looking to the future of rail travel and there has been a number of useful changes that can be adapted for future requirements.
On Saturday 11th December, Vintage Trains will operate 'The First Moor Street Express'. Departing at approx 8am for Paddington, London and return. (schedule to be finalised subject to Network Rail)
The First Moor Street Express excursions due to depart 11th December 2010 from Moor Street will be hauled by 5043 Earl of Mount Edgcumbe. A 4-6-0 Castle Class locomotive built in Swindon in 1936.
